Once I started this blog with the aim to tell the life and love story of my beloved pet duck Pipke. Unfortunate she died on September 14, 2009. She became 14 years and 3 months old. She was my faithful mate and the best that could happen to me. Under the label “Pipke” you can find all I wrote about her. On my second blog: ”Life Story of a Duck” I started to tell her story from her birth on. If you are interested to read it then click on the link: "Pipke's Life Story"! Hope to see you there!

I
am sure, this will be a question that comes to your mind, after
reading this post.

Yes
folks, I'm not at all the kind of writer that writes 'masterpieces', I just
let my thought go their free rein and put them on virtual paper.I
also doubt if putting a question mark in a title is correct, perhaps
it's not done.So - I leave it up to you to define
what this is.

Anyhow,
it comes straight from my heart, and before going further, I want to
wish you all a 'Happy New Year' with the hope that you will have many
blessings in the year to come.

- I started the new year with running in the early morning, just after
dawn.

I
was whole alone on the road, it seemed as if everyone else was
sleeping off his whirl from yesterday evening.

- I myself - had nothing to celebrate yesterday. I went early to bed, I
only awoke '*around midnight' because of the noise of the fireworks here
in the neighborhood.

*That
was for me the right time to hug my dear Pipke's 'Golden heart' that I
keep under my pillow!

It
brought me back to the time that she was still alive, then we took
her indoors to prevent that she would become afraid for the popping
fireworks.

That
was the time for hugs and reassurance, such a happy time!

From
those happy times I have one picture that's taken 'exactly', on this
very day, twenty years ago.

New
Year's day 1996! In the early morning.

(As
you can see: my sweet little girl could not appreciate to be 'dolled
up' for the occasion! She shook it off as quick as possible.

She
loved sobriety. She didn't like frills! Pure white was her favorite
color. The material of her packing always had to be clean, soft and
waterproof.)

However - I don't think that I will ever be able 'to celebrate' a New Year.

No! Celebrations - of what kind so ever - are no longer wasted on me.

Actually,
the world wherein we live now, it makes me sad!

There's
too much hunger for too many of us. Not 'the hunger' in the real
sentence of the word, but - the kind of hunger where Mother Teresa once referred to!

Message to my readers

You should take into account: English is not my native language and I've learned it through self study. I know it's not at all perfect. Therefore: knowing my shortcomings I always think of the quote Henry Van Dyke wrote: “Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best". I work on it to achieve a better result. Practice makes perfect!

Comments are Welcome

With much pleasure I will read every single message I receive. Feel free to ask questions, I will answer them gladly. If you want to know more about Pipke then click on the label "Pipke" below in this sidebar. You will find there all I wrote about the last part of her life.

An other quote::
"We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it." John Lennon. -----------
Yet an other:
